Astronomers have found water vapor around a young star within the constellation Taurus, 450 light-years away from Earth.
A white dwarf star that devoured at least a chunk of one of its planets has been betrayed by a scar of vaporized metal marring it surface – the tell-tale remnants of the planet that once orbited the star before spiraling into its doom.
Spanish professor argues that that water or other liquid-dwelling aliens, as well as civilizations on super-Earths, may actually be trapped on their planets due to "physical limitations".
NASA's new space telescope spotted a 13 billion-year-old galaxy that is much too complex to exist that early in the Universe.
Japan's moon lander has been put back to sleep after it surprisingly survived the freezing, two-week lunar night, the country's space agency said, with another operation attempt scheduled for later this month.
A study shows the subsurface ocean of Titan—the largest moon of Saturn—is most likely a non-habitable environment, meaning any hope of finding life in the icy world is dead in the water.
Odysseus is part of a venture between Intuitive Machines and NASA and the first American craft to land on the Moon since 1972.
Just one gram of antimatter could generate an explosion equivalent to a nuclear bomb. It's that kind of energy, some say, that could boldly take us where no one has gone before at record speed.
The gigantic galaxies we see in the Universe today, including our own Milky Way galaxy, started out far smaller.
A few years ago, astronomers uncovered one of the Milky Way's greatest secrets: an enormous, wave-shaped chain of gaseous clouds in our sun's backyard, giving birth to clusters of stars along the spiral arm of the our galaxy.
The icy dwarf planets Eris and Makemake have surfaces bearing methane ice of unknown origin. The two planets may have warm oceans.
New measurements by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft show higher than model-predicted levels of interstellar dust as the spacecraft approaches the putative outer edge of the Kuiper Belt.
The quasar – named J0529-4351 – is both the most luminous object known to date and the fastest-growing black hole currently known.
Does life appear independently on different planets in the galaxy? Or does it spread from world to world? Or does it do both? New research shows how life could spread via a basic, simple pathway: cosmic dust.
For a quiet, dusty lump of a planet we see today, Mars has had a surprisingly violent history, one that could reveal some clues about Earth.
